CLOUD GOVERNANCE BUILDS ON IT GOVERNANCE

An IT governance driver, among others

Similar to other disruptive trends

Impacts all three IT domains

A shared and service-centric IT driver, among others

Drives increased resource sharing

Drives service-centric IT

An IT governance federation member, among others

IT governance federates a variety of governance efforts

Cloud computing governance must be woven into all IT governances federation efforts

Cloud computing governance federation expands IT governance federation

Like IT governance, cloud governance needs to identify the right objective(s)

Cloud governance should focus on enabling flexibility

Private cloud governance should focus on ease of controlled internal procurement

Public cloud governance should focus on getting rid of the shadow IT

CLOUD GOVERNANCE RELIES ON THE SAME INGREDIENTS AS IT GOVERNANCE

Three Ps of governance

People are the main ingredients of cloud governance

Cloud governance requires a center of excellence

Cloud governance is about relationship management

Cloud governance is about empowerment, not just control

Public cloud governance is about managing IT department evolution

Private cloud governance is about enabling private clouds to keep up with public ones

Policies, plans, performance monitoring and processes are the backbone of cloud governance

Policies define the compliance context

Plans define the governance roadmap

Performance monitoring enables governance efforts to adapt

Process automation delivers consistency and enforcement

Cloud governance relies on a paraphernalia of systems, tools and technologies

Foundation for, and managed by, cloud governance

The self-service portal is the core cloud governance system

CLOUD GOVERNANCE, LIKE IT GOVERNANCE, IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Governance efforts need to improve

Too reactive, technology-centric and piecemeal

Integration standards are a challenge

Best-practice frameworks are missing for cloud

IT governance benefits from best practice frameworks; cloud governance doesnt

Enterprises are struggling to keep up with best-practice frameworks; cloud computing could help

ALM GOVERNANCE NEEDS TO EXPAND TO THE CLOUD

ALM has migrated to the clouds

ALM is hybrid: it spans public and/or private clouds

Public clouds provide developers with a variety of options

ALM is for as well as in the public cloud

ALM in the cloud is a mixed bag

ALM and cloud governance should be woven together

ALM governance should facilitate ALM for and in the public cloud

ALM governance in the cloud is likely to start with tests

ALM governance in the cloud should start small but think big

ALM governance in the cloud is about risk management

ALM governance in the cloud can help weave ALM and ITSM governance together

ALM is expanding slowly to ITSM

Public clouds provides an opportunity to speed up the pace

ALM governance in the cloud must live up to the challenge of cloud-centric applications

Adapting to IaaS and PaaS constraints

Moving out of ITs comfort zone

Developing the right SaaS applications

ALM governance for hybrid applications

CLOUD GOVERNANCE BUILDS ON SOA GOVERNANCE

Cloud computing is SOA-centric

Same architecture-centric approach and design principles

Present at both SOI and SOA level

Cloud governance helps SOA governance

Cloud governance strengthens the need for SOA governance

Cloud computing governance helps SOA transitions

The SOA governance paraphernalia has yet to move to the cloud

Interfaces are the link between SOA and cloud

APIs to services are at least as important to SOAs as SOA services

APIs are the keys to the cloud computing kingdom

APIs are important to both service providers and consumers

RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations for enterprises

Cloud computing requires governance

Slowly does it, as part of a wider IT federation governance effort

Towards an increasingly shared and service-centric IT

Cloud governance is in its infancy

Expand ALM and SOA governance to the cloud

Recommendations for suppliers

Help users governance efforts

Boost best practice, tools and integration

Weave cloud governance into your ALM and SOA governance tools

Collaboration and testing are the cloud ALM sweet spots

API management is the cloud SOA new frontier
